Arsenal ended their 22-year Premier League drought on Tuesday night after Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth confirmed Mikel Arteta's side as champions. The result left the Gunners with an unassailable four-point lead at the summit with just one match remaining.
Club legend Ian Wright was at the heart of the wild celebrations outside the Emirates Stadium, singing and dancing alongside jubilant supporters. The former striker, dressed in an Arsenal home shirt and scarf, embodied the emotion of a fanbase that has endured two decades without domestic glory. "It's just been so tough the last three years and to finally do it, honestly, what can I say? It's amazing! This club deserves it, our fans deserve it," Wright reflected on the historic moment.
Legends Unite in Celebration
Wright wasn't alone in his elation. Fellow Invincibles era icons Martin Keown and Ray Parlour rushed to social media to praise the current squad's achievement. "We were the best team," Keown declared, while Parlour excitedly asked, "Where is my champagne?" Even Arsene Wenger, who delivered Arsenal's last league title in 2004, offered a touching tribute: "Champions go on when others stop. This is your time. Now, go on and enjoy every moment."
Manager Arteta addressed his squad at London Colney with characteristic humility. "We made history again, together. I cannot be happier, prouder for everybody that is involved in this football club," he said, acknowledging the collective effort required to reclaim Premier League supremacy after 22 years.
What Comes Next
Arsenal's celebrations will be brief. After facing Crystal Palace in their final league fixture—where they expect a guard of honour—the Gunners must immediately shift focus to a monumental Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The double-winning pursuit represents the ultimate test of Arteta's transformation at the Emirates.
